        It isn't the syntax that prevents me from using it.         

	It is the absymal performance. -exec forks a shell
	for every line output by find.  It is incredibly slow.
	

...minutia, yes, but actually it forks and execs a shell. Most Unix derivations use a vfork() for this, which is essentially free, the exec() is not on the other hand...
